HTC One (M7)

If you're rocking a HTC One M7, and you're in Europe then you might want to start looking for an update to Sense 6 that could be headed your way. We're hearing reports that unlocked devices in various parts of the continent are starting to see the update hit including the UK where we've verified it on our own M7.

If you're the owner of an original HTC One M7 and wondering when T-Mobile will be rolling out the Sense 6 update to your device, we have some good news. The rollout has already begun and if you've not seen the update arrive on your device as of yet, you should now be able to check for system updates and find v5.14.531.1 available.

The unlocked and developer editions of the HTC One M7 are getting an update to install Sense 6 today. The update comes after Canadian One M7 owners received an update to do the same earlier this week. The update weighs in at 668MB and brings a lot of what we've come to love about Sense 6 on the HTC One M8 to the year-old original One.

Owners of the HTC One M7 in Canada have a big treat waiting for them in their Software Update settings: Sense 6. As promised by HTC last month, they've been working on an upgrade for the HTC One M7 to Sense 6 that debuted on the HTC One M8, and now, at least in Canada, that update is available.

If you're looking for a quality, off-contract Android phone, Ebay is currently offering the unlocked 32GB model of the HTC One M7 for $399.99. That's 38% off of the list price of $649.99. It's also $40 less than you'll find for the same model over at Amazon. But this deal is good for today and today only.

In the name of transparency, HTC has just updated its software update support page to indicate that several variants of the HTC One (M7) and One Max are one step closer to a Sense 6 software update. Coming up just a week after HTC let everyone know that the Sense 6 update was on its way and in "integration" (that's step 2 of 4), the page has been updated to reflect that nearly every version is...

HTC has come forward to let everyone know the status of the HTC Sense 6.0 update for original HTC One (M7) phones in the U.S. and Canada. A look at the pretty graphic tells us that everyone, everywhere — except T-Mobile USA — has a status of "integration." This means that folks are working to get the new software working as intended on the actual hardware itself. T-Mobile's status of "...

Back in March, a 205MB update for the original HTC One M7 went out to a few users in mainland Europe. It added support for more routers, which suggests there was a bug or two to fix, but it also replaced an existing Android 4.4.2 update that was pulled.
Today, some users worldwide are seeing the same update. It bumps your version from 4.19.401.9 to 4.19.401.11 and addresses whatever issues...

HTC America President Jason Mackenzie has taken to Twitter to give a rough date about the HTC Sense 6 update for the original M7 model HTC One. According to Mackenzie, users in the U.S. and Canada should expect to have received the update by the end of May.
Reminder that Sense 6 will push to current HTC One users by end of May. #htcadvantage— Jason Mackenzie (@JasonMacHTC) April 14, 2014...

How does the new HTC One (M8) compare to last year's model, the M7?
With today's launch of the new HTC One, the "M8," we're sure plenty of owners of last year's HTC One will be wondering how the new handset stacks up. Sure, 2014's HTC One boasts beefier internals, a larger screen, and an additional camera for capturing depth information. But what about the look, feel and software features?...

Update will be available later this spring
While today's HTC event was all about the new HTC One (M8), we got some good news for folks using the current model. HTC says they are committed to keeping their phones updated, and part of that is providing the latest version of HTC Sense to phones capable.
HTC has been pretty transparent about their update process, and this is the sort of news we...

BlinkFeed, HTC Service Pack and SenseTV listed on Google Play, complete with screenshots
We're just hours away from the expected arrival of the new HTC One (M8), and we're starting to see signs of the final preparations being made for the phone's launch. HTC has this morning released three new HTC Sense apps onto Google Play — HTC BlinkFeed, HTC Service Pack, and HTC SenseTV.
Update: HTC...

Sprint has a small update ready for the HTC One, and you can go grab it today.
The update to version 4.06.651.9 went live sometime this morning, and is available for customers to manually retrieve via their device settings. The listed changelog simply says "System stability improvements," so we don't imagine there are any user-facing changes or issues to contend with.
The update will push to...

Vodafone and Optus both have the update pushing out now
Several different variants of the HTC One have been receiving their Android 4.4 updates in the last few weeks, and now it's Australia's turn. Vodafone's support pages are confirming that the update is rolling out to its devices, while we're receiving tips that HTC Ones on Optus devices are also pulling down KitKat.
The combination of...

HTC has begun rolling out a second Android 4.4.2-based over-the-air update for the 2013 HTC One (M7) to some European customers. Today's 205MB update to version 4.19.401.11 follows the withdrawal of the earlier KitKat update due to "difficulties" experienced by some users. Today's OTA changelog references "support for more routers," suggesting incompatibility with certain Wifi equipment may...

A quick heads up, folks, that the Chrome browser for Android has gotten an update today. The changelog is vague in the usual ways, noting "stability and security updates."
But for those who are using an HTC One, you'll need to download this new version right away, as it fixes a pretty annoying audio bug that would cause the phone to launch straight into speakerphone mode when placing a call —...

HTC has just released another video in their Technical Translations series. The fourth and final episode tries to explain what an HTC Zoe is. We have actually explained it here already, but basically, a Zoe is a 3-second video clip that bookends when you actually hit the shutter button. Those Zoes can be later combined together to create video highlights.
In HTC’s words:
It’s super-...

If you're running an HTC One on AT&T (other carrier devices don't apply here) and use the HTC Backup app, you'll want to pick up today's update. It's got fixes for Sense 5.5 (which you should now have along with the Android 4.4.2 update), supports contacts and text messages, you can choose to back up to Google Drive or Dropbox, and you can now sign in with your Google account.
Good...

With the March 25th date on the horizon, it makes sense that 2013's flagship receives a price drop
HTC has shaved the price of the unlocked One by $100 down to $499, and it doesn't take much thought to wonder why it'd do such a thing. With an extremely-teased date of March 25th looming, it makes sense to drop the price of the unlocked One as it approaches a year old. Until today you were...
